Double Trouble.

 Hi Loves, 

Timing is everything.  After posting the monokini in the previous post I got an order request.  Can I say how excited and nervous I was all at once?  Why you asked?

Well! Let's see...

This was made 5 years ago back in 2018.  It was posted and a blog post was written and nothing happened then.  Secondly, though I had the bag pattern, I don't remember what the hell I did back then.  Luckily the actual item was still within my household.  I retrieved the piece of clothing and studied it the best I could.  With the colours decided by the customer, the ball was set to roll.

A little back story;

I don't know the person as this was a gift from her mother and she wanted it to be a surprise so couldn't get any measurements.  She sent me a picture and said "This is who you are making it for" when I asked for the cup size.  I prayed and asked for guidance, and just like that I made a well-fitted monokini. 

How do I know this? I was sent pictures along with praises for the work I did (see the last photo of the post).  The highlight of my day.

Excitement overload. This colour combo is spot on and made this piece pop. It was made with Premier Cotton Fair in the colour way Lemon Drops, the accent black is from a local yarn seller.

So without further ado...

Neighbour, Neighbour

Guys,

I'm like over the moon right now.  Do you remember or have you checked my post about great men? Well, in this case, a great woman - ME (smiles).

So after making and modelling my top the very next day, ( THE VERY NEXT DAY) I receive a call for an order.  Yes, an order.

My day started like most, with me lying in bed trying to plan my day and then heading for the showers to revitalize and start working.  Here I am in the bathroom and I decided to listen to some gospel then I heard Taylor Swift's "End Game" starting, I checked the caller ID but the number was unknown.

"Hello"
"Melissa, come over and take your first order". I was like "Hello, who is this?"
"Ms Janet."

Guys, I was beaming from ear to ear.

I finish my bath, and while getting dressed she called back. "Wear the blouse as it was in the night I looked at it".

I gathered my tape measure, my book, pencil, the pattern and headed over.  She laughed and said I met business. "Like yeah".

That's not all, in addition to ordering the top,

she gave me the threads to do it (how cool is that?).

I measured and made my notes, I ran over my house grinning like a kid on Christmas Day.

Here I go...... Let the work begin.

Back (3 of the yellow did the back)

Front (3 did the front)

I worked as fast as I could because I so wanted to complete this top and see the look on my customer's face. 

🤞perfect.
